Gray on dash and glove box is some sort of padded vinyl. Gray on injured doors is also hard plastic. What are your recommendations for cleaning these and protecting them? Thanks in advance

    I use Mothers "Back to Black" or a similar plastic cleaner/protectant on my 2008 gen 2 and now my 2017 Prius 2. For me it works well on both exterior exposed plastic surfaces where the sun and UV get to them the most and also the interior door seals, dash, etc. The one thing NOT to use is something like a spray silicone, which contains solvents that actually will remove the ingredients in the rubber or plastic that keeps them pliable and protected from sun and UV.
